She recalled how they joined the choir of the Resurrection Power and Living Bread Ministries at an early age where Rev. Amoako urged the formation of the music group.

“We were singing before the archbishop who is our spiritual father became the Head of Resurrection power. He was the associate pastor for Rev. Amoako, founder and leader of Resurrection Power though when Reverend Amoako was the archbishop we were there but we were very little girls.

“We were five girls when we started. The first time we went to Santasi when Revered Amoako was alive, we were five girls but whiles we were going, three girls could not continue so it was left with only Edna and I and you know we are sisters.

“So we met Auntie Monica in Santasi and we were part of the choir. We joined the choir and sometimes we will sing,” she said on March, 20.

Cynthia emphasized that the Archbishop upon realising their potentials decided to mentor them and sought permission from their parents to bring them under his care.

She noted that it was under the care of the Archbishop that they improved their talent and became the big name that they have established today.

“When the Archbishop saw that, he came to our parents to mentor us and we stayed with him. He taught us how to write and compose songs. It was a unique calling.

“We were having the gift but we did not know how to operate the gift, he does bible studies with us and we go for retreats.  So that is how it started and by the Grace of God, we are still with him,” Cynthia narrated.

The gospel group is  known for famous songs like; Faw’asem to awurade anim, Bue mani, Yesu ye m’ade nyinaa and others.
